Continuum Powders is partnering with Renishaw to provide high-quality reclaimed metal powders for the RenAM 500, promoting circular metal economy practices in additive manufacturing.
Renishaw's RenAM 500S Flex system reduces platinum rhodium powder waste to under 0.5%, enabling large-scale 3D printing in sectors like aerospace and glass fiber manufacturing.
The latest version of Renishaw's CARTO software (v4.12) now includes analysis-based data stitch functionality for long axis measurements using the XK10 alignment laser system.
The new materials added include commercially pure copper, H13 tool steel, Hastelloy® X alloy, super-duplex stainless steel and AlSi7Mg aluminium alloy.
The upcoming addition to the RenAM 500 series will help meet the needs of more recent adopters of AM looking for a lower initial investment, without compromising on part quality.
The new RenAM 500S Flex machine has enabled Mott Corporation to reduce machine turnaround and setup times compared to previous AM technologies, while giving more confidence in the performance of printed parts.
The RenAM 500Q Ultra will be used to boost the serial production of metal components, such as its innovative punch, which was developed as a collaboration between Renishaw and ADDiVAL.
